Travel to Cuba

February 3, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Cuba is an enchanting Caribbean vacation spot that is virtually undiscovered. The pristine white sand beaches and crystal blue waters are a vacationer’s delight. And, the snorkeling and scuba diving is second to none. Cuba has a vast amount of rich culture, spectacular sunsets and memorable experiences to offer the tourist.

Due to the fact that Cuba is a relative newcomer to the vacation marketplace, prices for all-inclusive packages are usually very reasonable. The resorts there offer all the same amenities you can expect at other places, including spectacular free-form swimming pools (many with swim-up bars), great service, white sand beaches, water sports, fishing, night clubs, local entertainment, arts and craft markets, and much more. Most resorts offer all-inclusive packages that include flights, meals, drinks and entertainment.

Cuba has more of a “family” vacation spot appeal and does not normally have the large crowds and exciting nightlife that many other vacation spots have to offer. On a Cuban vacation, you can expect more of a relaxing getaway, although most resorts still have nightclubs and disco’s and some night-time entertainment if you want it.

Saving money on family fun is especially important during the summer months, when the kids are out of school, restless, and looking to you for some entertainment ideas. It can make you feel guilty if you don’t have the money to continually rent video games, take them to costly kid-friendly places, and shell out big bucks for full fare activities.

Even during the school year, it’s important to be able to get out of the house with the kids and do something that won’t break the bank. This is where season passes come in handy. If you live in or near a big city, you can pay once for full, year-round access to a wide variety of entertainment hot spots.

The zoo is a great place to save money with a season pass. A season pass to a zoo not only gets you in the door without paying again all year, but you usually get free parking, too. [Read more…] about Around Town Savings for Family Fun
